Thanks for the feedback. In the long campaings, the name remains changed (to protect the innocent perhaps. :) :) I used renaming to some degree in the past, but this last long campaign I went ahead and took the time to rename all the units of my core force. To me, it has been worth the trouble. It really helps me to keep things organized during a battle. I took all the infantry units and gave them all phonetic alphabet designations that go along with their ID.... all the "C" units are "Charlie", "D" units are "Delta". (I had just watched Band of Brothers, so "E" was "Easy"). Each Squad is 1-2-3, The machine gun is simply "Delta MG". The armoured units where all given Color names. Red, White, Blue and Green elemets. I ran out of simple colors for my platoon of Panzer IV's so I call this my "Sam" element. The problem I ran into was when I went to the refit screen. I would go to do some upgrading and couldn't remember what each unit was. Was Green leader a Panzer IIc or IIf? The name stays to what you change to. Anyway, I was just trying make it easier to know what each unit was. Thanks again.
